[PCA] What ancient pollen tells us about future climate change

[Krupnick, Gary]

Some of you might be interested in this new research about climate change and plant migration, from the Department of Paleobiology at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History :
What ancient pollen tells us about future climate change

Pollen preserved in rocks for more than 56 million years reconstruct Earth’s major climatic transition that caused mass plant migration

Around 56 million years ago, Earth’s climate underwent a major climatic transition. A huge release of carbon into the ocean and atmosphere raised atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentrations – which meant temperatures going up by 5 to 8°C and rising sea levels.
